Yoon Suk-yeol's Phone Call Recorded by Democratic Party

The Democratic Party has made public a recording of a phone conversation between President Yoon Suk-yeol and Ming Tae-kyun, which occurred on May 9, 2022, just before the by-election. This conversation purportedly includes President Yoon discussing the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun. The Democratic Party asserts that this lays bare allegations of the presidential couple's involvement in the nomination process, presenting it as evidence. Notably, the Democratic Party disclosed that Kim Geon-hee urged President Yoon to urgently resolve the matter regarding Kim Young-sun's nomination. This incident is tied to claims of 'state affairs manipulation' under the Yoon administration, with the Democratic Party charging that the president has violated election laws. Lee Jae-myung, the party leader, emphasized the necessity of a special prosecutor to uncover the truth and encouraged party members to participate in demonstrations supporting this investigation.
